Expand Snatch, also one of my favourites. Not really a heist movie, but an excellent choice. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is from the same director and pretty good too. Edit: I meant to quote Gordo instead of raidersbball20 Anyway, "A Fish Called Wanda" faced some unjust criticism if recall correctly. It's entertaining but I wouldn't call it a great movie.

A heist is a theft, no? The movie starts off with a diamond theft and everyone chasing the diamond through the movie. Didn't care for Lock, Stock, etc. Snatch ruined it for me.

sabugo Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I see your point. But the movie is about much more stuff than just a theft. The movie takes place after the fact. What else has Guy Ritchie directed that was any good? Not counting the Sherlock Holmes movies.

sabugo Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Snatch has so many great moments. So many good characters. Another heist movie that I forgot: 'The Italian Job' I found it entertaining and all but a little too unrealistic. Has anyone ever watched the original one? I'll check that movie @Gordo, thanks!

Yankee4Life Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 The Godfather (1972) Starring Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan and Robert Duvall Film trailer. Reveal hidden contents A movie about the fall and rise of one of New York’s major crime families during the forties and early fifties. A classic movie and revered by most movie fans. An all-star cast that produced two sequels. I enjoy watching this movie because it’s a movie, plain and simple. No political agendas to push, just 100% entertainment. My favorite part of the movie is the very last scene when the door is slowly shut on Diane Keaton.

Gordo Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 Diner -- Hands down, one of the best guy comradery/coming of age movies imo. Incredible cast. Hardly a wasted scene. Again, don't bother with the trailer for fear of ruining any scenes. Basically, if you can't get into this movie, you need to hand in your "man card"!

Gordo Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 Max Payne. Didn't know this movie existed until recently. I haven't played the game, well, not yet, but it does get great accolades. Wish I could give this the same. (Marky) Mark Wahlberg plays the lead character who is a rogue detective stumbling onto other worldly influences that are somehow connected to his wife's murder case that has gone cold. It's stylized action/violence much on the order of the Sin City look. It held it's own for a while, but really fell off. The villain wasn't legit and the "character development" of Max left a lot to be desired. I can see why there wasn't a sequel (as far as I know). Supposedly there is a fan film made.
